Question 1

I've been using the Seroflo 250 Inhaler for a couple of years now because my doctor prescribed it, but I just found out that it contains Fluticasone Propionate, which I heard is a steroid and might not be great for long-term health. I'm kinda worried because whenever I try to stop using it, I start having breathing issues within a couple of days. Is there any inhaler available in India that has only Salbutarol and no steroids?

Accepted Answer

Hi, using a Seroflo 250 inhaler is essential for controlling asthma or COPD as it contains both a steroid (Fluticasone) to reduce inflammation and a bronchodilator. However, Salbutamol-only inhalers like Asthalin or Levolin are available but are meant for quick relief, not long-term control. Consult your doctor before making any changes to ensure your symptoms stay managed.

The mildly prominent bronchovascular markings in your chest X-ray typically indicate mild inflammation or irritation in the lungs, often seen with respiratory infections like the common cold.
